== Hyphen usage in vague century references ==
Hi Sam, since your are so knowledgeable on proper grammar and syntax, I thought I' bother you with another such question. <br />
Someone [[Talk:Slavery#Is_vs._was|just informed me]] that rather than writing "18th-century" one should write, "18th century" (without the hyphen). I know I've seen it with the hyphen, but that certainly doesn't make it right. However, a rule set my bot is using includes the addition of a hyphen, and it has been doing so. Have I been making a mess again, or is this one of those disputable/both are right things? Thanks! --[[User:DavidB4|<font color="ForestGreen">David B</font>]] <sup><small>([[User talk:DavidB4|TALK]])</small></sup> 12:58, 23 August 2016 (EDT)
